President opens Mozambique’s first organic sugar plant

The President Nyusi on Saturday afternoon inaugurated Mozambique’s first organic sugar processing plant, in the Chemba district of Sofala province.

According to the head of state, the new Chemba plant establishes Mozambique as a player in the international market for this prestigious product.

Following the start-up of this organic sugar production unit, which has an annual capacity of around 1,200 tonnes, the country will witness, in the second implementation stage, an increase of installed production capacity by an additional 13,500 tonnes, all intended entirely for the export market.
